Tag: Christmas market

Is there anything better than sitting beside a fireplace on a chilly winter evening? 🔥🍷

Imagine, outside is freezing and you are all cozy, staring at flickering light and listening to cracking sound of burning wood and just relaxing while sipping a hot beverage such as mulled wine.

Then if YOU ever feel like going out and exploring Prague, there are many Christmas markets awaiting YOU!

All of that magical atmosphere wrapped up in a cinnamon spice flavor and roasted chestnuts, topped off with tiny little snowflakes . . and lights of a Christmas tree and of course more mulled wine involved.

Actually I am in the Czech Republic right now and am sitting beside the fire place in the middle of nowhere and outside is snowing…..

I have been living in Italy over 6 years and every winter I booked a flight ticket to escape cold. But now, maybe I again reunited with my inner child, with my “mimi me” so I started to enjoy a winter time again.

Watching a snow flakes falling down it almost feels like I have been experiencing this for the first time!

Beautiful and yes I am even willing to freeze my ass out. In the end a cold weather is the best excuse to keep drinking more wine, right?

Let it snow, let it snow . .

Prague is a pretty unique city, thats a fact!

There usually is a gap between a reality (mind) and our dreams. But walking through Prague’s city centre almost feels like being in a wonderland and if we add a bit of a snow, we are definitely approaching a fairytale.

I think every tourist who is in search for a bohemian lifestyle must experience a winter time in Prague. The combination of freezing weather and hot mulled wine might enlighten you the Bohemianism of The Unbearable Lighness of Being.

📍My favourite quotes about Prague:

“In Rome the statues, in Paris the paintings and in Prague the buildings suggests that pleasure can be an education” – Caleb Crain

Czech Cuisine:

Czech traditional food is mostly really heavy, so winter is the best time to enjoy it!

I would recommend to order a soup to warm up your tummy and then a plate of GULAS, a tender meat, vegetables and rich gravy. Trust me, YOU never can go wrong with that.

A Typical Local drink:

🔴 Svarak – mulled wine

🔴 Beer

🔴 Becherovka

🔴 Slivovice

The mulled wine is a popular tradition in the Czech Republic during a winter time.

YOU can get it basically everywhere, even on the Christmas markets, that it is easier to walk in a freezing cold.

If it doesn’t help to keep you warm, try Becherovka or Slivovice.

Becherovka

Becherovka is a herbal bitters alcohol drink, basically digestive aid, this might be helpful for you to know especially after some really heavy traditional Czech meal. But I also drink it while having first flu symptoms. Definitely YOU must taste this beverage.

Slivovice

A typical fruit brandy made from plums. Again helps a lot with 1st signs of flu.

What are YOU waiting for? 😍

I am a typical Grinch, I truly hate xmas! But it is true that winter in Europe has some magic and so do the Christmas markets! As for me, I am always hiding somewhere sunny like Thailand, Miami or where I can’t feel the pressure of “happy family times”! But this year I have come to […]
